A TAPE ERROR OCCURRED: [the requested volume is in use (drive 0)].

"A TAPE ERROR OCCURRED: [the requested volume is in use (drive 0)]." is an issue that's been plaguing me for about a year, so I'd really appreciate any advice you can give.

Backups work fine every other day, when they don't work, they give the 'requested volume is in use' error.
